My years as a menswear boss

Jiqiu stood on the reef, blowing the sea breeze, and the sound of sea water hitting the reef echoed in her ears. At this moment, her brain was in a state of emptiness, and every frame of case in her mind was far away from her.

"Mr. Gary, afternoon tea is ready!" A clear female voice broke Jiqiu's meditation.

She stretched a lot and jumped off the rock. Just as her feet touched the cold sea water, her toes curled up uncontrollably.

When Jiqiu saw the person coming, the smile on his face froze, and he walked towards the girl with a bright smile on the coast.

"Mr. Jones has just finished taking the royal jelly, and I happened to make maple syrup toast. And the lemon slices pickled last night can be soaked in water to drink."

Anthony Abigail had a lively face and light brown hair braided in a thick braid.

Jiqiu praised with a smile on his eyebrows, "I believe it must be very delicious. Miss Abigail's craftsmanship is full of praise from Mr. Lian."

"You're too polite, just call me Anthony like everyone else, Miss Abigail, I always sound weird!"

Anthony Abigail turned his head and saw the handsome face of the "boy" behind him, his ears turned red slightly, and his smile became a lot more reserved, contrary to his usual carefree image.

"Okay, Anthony." Jiqiu corrected her words in a polite manner. As a detective, she has always been sensitive to other people's emotional perception. It's not that she can't feel Anthony Abigail's intentions, but she is destined to be unable to give any response .

Anthene Abigail knew that the boy would go back to Miss Abigail one day, but she was delighted nonetheless.

"Anseni!" A dark-skinned shepherd boy in the field waved his hand vigorously towards this side, grinning brightly, his big white teeth formed a strong contrast with his skin color, he ran over quickly, followed by his legs Two collies.

"Tom?" Anthony Abigail instantly recognized the man in the field.

"Our ewe gave birth last night, do you want to go see the lamb with me?" The boy looked at Anthony Abigail expectantly.

Anthony Abigail glanced at Jiqiu subconsciously, feeling a little moved in her heart, "But me."

"Huh? I know the way back. Miss Abigail can go about her business."

Jiqiu knelt down and rubbed the furry heads of the beagles vigorously, one of them even showed its belly.

She found that she didn't know why in this world, the physique that was popular with small animals in her previous life continued, even this kind of domesticated animal

Dogs have no resistance to her either.

"These two traitors," Tom murmured displeasedly.

Anthony Abigail's attention was all on Jiqiu, and he didn't hear Tom's thoughts.

But when Jiqiu heard it, she felt powerless. She didn't expect that she would be more popular with girls than boys one day. She pinched the puppy's drooping ears and stood up, "Newborn lamb, oh Miss Bigail was just thinking about going to see it yesterday, didn’t she? I’ll explain the reason to my husband, and it won’t count as your absenteeism.”

Jiqiu didn't wait for Anthene Abigail to react, the soles of her feet were slicked with oil, and the shepherd boy's eyes were about to burn a hole in her.

"If only you were looking for clues as fast as you are now, Gary."

A tall, thin man was sitting on a single sofa, flipping through a book in his hand.

"Sir, did you do it on purpose?" Jiqiu looked at the man on the sofa, Sherlock Holmes with the pseudonym John Jones, wondering if Watson, who was far away in London, knew Holmes' new name.

"You must know that I have only one housekeeper." Holmes closed the book, with the corners of his mouth raised.

"You can go to me directly." Jiqiu occupied the loveseat sofa by himself, with his arms spread out.

After finishing her work for Mycroft Holmes, she chose to spend her vacation in Sherlock Holmes' incognito seaside village.

It would have been an easy ride had it not been for Anthene Abigail, Holmes' hired housekeeper.

Girls by the sea are much bolder and more enthusiastic than girls in downtown London, even though Jiqiu tactfully rejects Anthony Abigail's overtures.

But the girl still didn't get discouraged, so there was the scene of Jiqiu blowing the wind on the reef at the beginning.

"Is it what a student should do to embarrass a teacher who is sick?"

Holmes enjoys playing the role endlessly. He is now a university lecturer who came to the village to recuperate, and Jiqiu is his student.

What surprised Jiqiu even more was that Holmes even had a teaching certificate from a university, and he was from the Chemistry Department of Oxford University.

"But you are as strong as a wild horse." Jiqiu's face twitched, and he immediately retorted.

"Okay, I've given Miss Abigail a week off, so you can take a good rest."

Holmes looked at Jiqiu whose face had turned black, and stroked his hair skillfully. As long as the detective wanted to, he could make everyone feel at ease. At least Jiqiu was coaxed now, completely forgetting that he just Incendiary behavior.

"As for this doll, I don't have a clue yet, but I boldly assume that its production technology may have come from the East."

Holmes carried the bear-skinned Isabel. The usually arrogant Isabel was as quiet as a chicken at the moment, letting Mr. Detective play with him at will.

"East? But it came from America." Jiqiu looked at Isabel looking at her pitifully, and took it from Holmes. "It also has a younger sister named Annabelle. But it is much bloodier than it. It seems to be an indiscriminate attack, as long as Annabelle is brought home, there will be bloodshed."

"I clearly remember that I am from America!"

Isabel nodded desperately, her hands wrapped around Jiqiu's arm like handcuffs, she didn't want it to fall into Holmes' hands again.

"Didn't you take it apart and take a look?"

Holmes stared at Isabel on Jiqiu's arm without any emotion in his eyes, "All its parts are made of wood, which is a very ancient mechanical technique, unlike the dolls made of wire and cotton on the market. The place is the same. Oh no, at least the disguise is the same."

Jiqiu looked down at the trembling Isabel, feeling a little strange in her heart, "What did you do to it, it looks scared?"

You must know that Isabel is an energetic brat in her eyes, or the kind of brat from a relative's family.

"It's just a small experiment." Holmes smiled with an inexplicable meaning.

Isabel trembled like chaff in an instant, and said aggrievedly, "This nasty man poured a strange liquid on me, it hurts so much." After speaking, she stretched out her arm, with a dark mark on it.

Jiqiu took a closer look and sniffed it, and immediately recognized what it was. She looked at Holmes in shock, "Did you pour sulfuric acid?"

"Oh, yes. This is one of them." Holmes picked up the lemon tea on the coffee table and took a sip. "This is the first time I have seen such a substance that can't be corroded by high-strength sulfuric acid. Fire and knife cutting will only leave behind." The shallow traces will disappear the next day. It can only be disassembled from the back mechanism, but the detailed internal parts cannot be seen clearly. It’s really interesting.”

'This is torture! Jiqiu couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy for Isabel. In the eyes of Holmes, it was not a living body. Even if it had emotions, it was handled without mercy.

"Why didn't you devour your soul?" Jiqiu still had a question. Holmes was not a good person, even if he was, he had a choice between being tortured and eating excrement.

Isabel was even more aggrieved when she heard it, and cried out with a 'wow', "I can't eat him at all, and I can't use any ability on him!! I can't even run away!!"

'Good guy, it's not that I haven't done it, it's that I can't do it. '

"It's so miserable." It was the first time Jiqiu saw Isabel being completely suppressed. She also had some ability to suppress Isabel, but it was not completely impossible to resist.So most of the time the fight between Jiqiu and Isabel is a draw.

"Hey." Isabel wiped away the tears that didn't exist on her face.

"Give me a little more time, and I shall find a way to destroy it." Holmes looked animated, his gray eyes gleaming.

"Uh." Jiqiu felt that his desire to kill Isabel was not as strong as it was at the beginning.

After all, it didn't hurt a good person from the beginning to the end.There is no need to treat it with a painful death.

"I can solve this by myself." She thought for a while and made a decision.

Jiqiu knows that Holmes can live a long time, so she can slowly find a way to solve it by herself.

"Oh, well." Holmes showed disappointment on his face, "Whenever you go back on your word, you can give it to me at any time."

"Yeah." Jiqiu glanced at Isabel, who wanted to nod her head like a spring, and felt a little funny. She thought that her ears would be clean for a few days.

Although Isabel's voice is sweet and soft, she is used to shouting at Jiqiu at the top of her throat, and her voice suddenly becomes very high-pitched.She could finally stop suffering from Isabel's sharp voice.

"But, you really won't run away?" Jiqiu's subordinates neatly tied up Isabel's messy hair like a bird's nest.

Holmes took a lot of hair during the experiment, but just like a scar, even if it is shaved, it will grow back to its original length the next day.

"I don't know when I won't be able to leave your side for too long." Isabel blinked her sluggish glazed eyes, "If you leave for two hours, I will automatically return to your side."

"There is such a thing?" Jiqiu couldn't bear it anymore, and smiled gloatingly, "Why didn't I know?"

"You don't know anything, you only care about yourself!" Isabel roared angrily.
